when I had to make  letter asking for an extension, I just made it directed to the government address of the country I was at explaining the reasons why I needed to stay longer and they gave me a six month extension!!

Answer 2

Generally, visa extensions are handled by a different ministry once they have been issued - not the embassy.  Regardless, the format would be that of any business correspondence, stating your request, providing your reasons, and adding any proof you may have.

Note:  The link listed by the answerer below is for an income tax return extension, and would provide little help for a visa extension.
